They said they couldn't find fault in the accident. Sounds like a street light malfunctioned.
Yeah, it sounded to me too and it would be quite fitting for Samaritan to do something like that. Plus, it would explain why Team Machine wasn't really bothered by it so far - Samaritan isn't going to make half baked tries to solve it's own mystery. It's preparing to solve it in full force since the beginning.
Did they say when her parents died?
Samaritan is just a few months old by now.
Thank you.
I assume that happens in the season finale, or close to it?
I will reach that in about 7 weeks.

Thanksgiving, last year, yes? Thats about 10 months. You're probably right. Person of Interest is "now", so Samaritan went online may this year.
Yes.
Just came here to post this. Here's the wikipedia page on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cicada_3301

She just being mysterious.
The show is getting so grim and dark that I wouldnt have been surprised if Claire got straight up killed in that rooftop scene. The whole thing with Samaritan hacking into Finch's computer swift and fast was creepy as fuck. The fact that there's an invisible monster always watching and listening, although it was always like this at least with the machine it never felt so threatening. Damn, this show...
Also I thought the cinematography in this episode was excellent, the show to me looks so good. Love the shot of the stairs and the skyline in the rooftop scene.

I was genuinely scared that Claire was gonna die... and then I thought Reese rescued her... then my mind was full of fuck at the Samaritan phone.
ALSO! The Nautilus puzzles are based on a real mysterious weird thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cicada_3301

No! Root's too sexy to work for Samaritan! The Machine is the original!
Actually, Claire seemed very similar to Root, so I can see why Samaritan would want her. Someone whose entire life's purpose is deigned by a machine.

its the same as last season we had episodes where she was absent or only had a few small scenes but when she did come back it would be in a big way.
Hence why Samaritan sought out its own Root. Root even pointed out the similarities between her and Claire.
I thought it hadn't happened 27 times thus far. I swear I heard it had only happened twice prior to this (in Istanbul and somewhere else, I forget).
It's happening every 27 days.
Think about it, Greer/Decima even bluntly asked Root to join with them, back when she used Bear to track Greer in the subway.

Oh yeah, every 27 days. Knew what I said was kind of strange.
I actually think that Claire is inferior to Root, since she seems to lack a lot of secondary skills. She is extremely sloppy, not even close to understanding that she is hunted so closely and clear lack in social interaction. Root would at least tried to smooth talk herself out of the situation or even actively trying to continue with TeamMachine as guards.
Root made her own path to the Machine, Claire needed to follow the path that someone set beforehand.

Samaritan only cares when there's an operational conflict against it, getting rid of any competitors. In this case, the PMC was working on a criminal detection and clasification system that would directly compete with it.
Not only Claire got into Samaritan's deep web of assets, but she also helped get documents that Samaritan wasn't able to access by itself to get that PMC closen down.
That's my beef with this plot, a kid hacked the PMC's but the all powerfull Samaritan couldn't?
Samaritan can't have people asking question about who hacked into their system and stole those documents, if Finch was able to deduce that the game was Samaritan then the computer whizzes of that company would've come to the same conclusion (albeit they don't know about Samaritan but they would've come to the conclusion that something is not right) and start asking questions and that's unnecessary attention, so Samaritan uses Claire to hack into the database of that company to steal the documents, no one will trace that back to Samaritan.

And who knows, maybe she needed direct access to a server or something. There was quite a bit of the game we didn't see.

She's still just a kid. Samaritan will probably train her in all kinds of things. She will become Root in no time.
Did the Machine want the team to save Claire from getting involved with Samaritan, or were they enlisted to help her win the game? They made a point about the Machine letting people make their own decisions...maybe it (she?) thinks Claire can be an asset while working for the bad guys.
I really do hope Samaritan is just creating its own team to rival Machine...they should cast John C. Reilly as Bizarro Fusco. The only way to fight a bumbling cop is with another bumbling cop.

Are we talking about a podcast other than 'podcast of interest'??

Yeah thats what I noted. She lacks any social clues and Root was more than capable of coming up with plans and operating without the machine. Root is more physically and socially adept. She had prior experience to operating without a machine guiding her every move. Meanwhile Claire doesn't seem to possess that. If it wasnt for the team she would've been dead long ago.
I think the groundwork and bond they layed down in this episode will come back to Finch and the teams advantage in terms of Claire. Whether that was the machine's plan remains to be seen. However the machine would've known if Claire wasnt accepted Samaritan would've eventually found someone.
That's the only one I know of.

Little thing I noticed on Samaritan's graphics: It has an 'admin [locked]' section, but under that section lists two controls, 001 control and 002 control. Could this be a hint that Greer isn't actually the man at the top of Decima? He did seem to be reporting to someone a long time ago. Any other show but this one I would dismiss something like that as nothing, but the detail they put in is insane (loved that it updated Harold's criminal record as soon as John put the cuffs on).

It's part of the Samaritan viewpoint, most commonly when it's an ambient establishing shot from Samaritan's POV. There's a bunch of data and stuff to either side, it's there.

Awesome! I didn't pay much attention to the frame, I'll be sure to be on the lookout for more details like that.

Maybe it's just something Samaritan has chosen to do to prevent any human tampering, even from Greer.

This is horseshit.
Total horseshit.
Did no one see Lionel go fucking dual guns on some gangsters before bagging the supermodel in Season 2? What about his girl in the LOOOOOOOOOOOVE episode?
The hell, POI. Way to drop the ball on continuity.
going undercover, how does it work?

His levels of swag are too high for that undercover identity to be effective.
Sober. You know it's true.
LOOK! LOOK AT THIS MAGNIFICENT SPECIMEN!

That's not such a bad thing to me. I'd rather see more of Elias. Hoping they set him up as the next big bad needing to be dealt with once the Samaritan arc is over.

I just watched a rerun of 'Identity Crisis'. That ending. "Good night, Nathan."
